Thankyou for posting a reponse and I can understand and respect your perspective, however Ryanair and Easyjet are quick and easy wins and are clearly low cost. Yes the economy has played a part in holding back some route development, however,there is still a high proportion of Yorkshire demographic flying from Manchester, Doncaster and Humberside when they could fly from LBIA. It is alledged but not proven, the current management team are "steroiding" the airport with passenger headcount, reducing resources to a minimum, and presenting a very mediocre passenger experience. LBIA management team should not be overtly proud of their achievements so far, but focus more on why they are not attracting other airlines and routes.
